Spacing Bootstrap includes a wide range of shorthand responsive margin and padding utility classes to modify an element’s appearance.
Assign responsive-friendly margin or padding values to an element or a subset of its sides with shorthand classes. Includes support for individual properties, all properties, and vertical and horizontal properties. Classes are built from a default Sass map ranging from .25rem to 3rem.
We have further added quick margin and padding options for by using gutter space variable .m-g, margin bottom gutter .mb-g. Padding gutter can be adding by using .p-g modifier. The *-g will change based on the gutter variable.
Default Panel
Spacing utilities that apply to all breakpoints, from xs to xl, have no breakpoint abbreviation in them. This is because those classes are applied from min-width: 0 and up, and thus are not bound by a media query. The remaining breakpoints, however, do include a breakpoint abbreviation.
The classes are named using the format {property}{sides}-{size} for xs and {property}{sides}-{breakpoint}-{size} for sm, md, lg, and xl.

Example padding:
Horizontal centering
Additionally, Bootstrap also includes an .mx-auto class for horizontally centering fixed-width block level content—that is, content that has display: block and a width set—by setting the horizontal margins to auto.
Negative margin
n before the requested size.
Here’s an example of customizing the Bootstrap grid at the medium (md) breakpoint and above. We’ve increased the .col padding with .px-md-5 and then counteracted that with .mx-md-n5 on the parent .row.
